I have never been an active person. I heard good things about the cycling classes at Best Fitness so I decided to check it out for the day. The staff was great and let me take the class and try out the facility for the day! A few months after I decided to join and I couldn't be happier with my choice! It is the BEST gym in Erie!

I started working out at Best Fitness in Erie three years ago. I was looking for a gym that had good cardio equipment. When I went into Best Fitness I was pleasantly surprised with all they have in their facility. The staff is always friendly and willing to help however they can! This past year I decided to start working with personal trainer and I couldn't be happier with how things are going!!

The only reason why I'm giving Best Fitness a star is because google reviews is forcing me to. Just like how the sales people at Best Fitness force you to sign up. The staff there were terrible, all they care about is how much money they can get out of you. I am only 19 and they have taken complete advantage of me and my credit card. I had cancelled recently and the guy I talked to, TOM, told me he would give me my $20 back for the month because I cancelled the next day I was charged. He completely lied to me and I still haven't heard from them for weeks. I have called multiple times and they said they would "get right on it..". Obviously that term is used freely around them. I do not recommend joining, try another gym. I wish I wouldn't have signed up and had just walked right out of that door. Best Fitness is the worst gym I have ever been to, not because of their equipment or cleanliness, but because their staffed ruined my whole experience joining a gym that I thought was "reliable" and "for the people". The only people on here giving them high stars is probably the staff themselves.

I would agree with other reviews on their shady business practices. This is one of those gyms where you have to watch out for the hidden fee's. I guess I just expected the employee who I talked to about membership fee's to be honest and tell me all the details, even the unexpected years dues I was charged for. If the guy who signed me up had been honest, I probably still would have joined, but now that I feel cheated it really takes away from the value of going to this gym. When I first joined the guy also immediately signed me into personal training, which i was unable to attend thankfully, because it would have been another hidden charge that he also failed to mention I still attend this gym, as I am locked in the contract. Most of the employees are very nice and the gym is well maintained. I do not see the same guy who signed me up working there now but when I called about the hidden fee's they did not want to hear me whatsoever.

i came for only 2 days, over thanksgiving break, since I'm in college. FSU has a very well stocked gym and a very big space. but Best fitness has a lot of floor space, with more emphasis on dumbbells and barbells and free motion exercise than machines. i really loved the space. and since my grandmother was a member they were very convenient about letting me just workout for 2 days. the staff were the friendliest but they seemed confident and fit. if i was in Erie, i would join this place as my gym for sure
